Time to record the names of hikes we've done in Phoenix

I'm an Albertan who has been to Phoenix a few times over the last couple of years.  My wife and I especially like hiking in the mountains, and we've done enough hikes that they are starting to get mixed together in our minds.  Time to document what we've done.  I am going to try to start with the first ones and work forward, but I'm sure that I won't be able to keep them in strict chronological order.  Oh well at least I will capture some.
